Getting the right joist hangers and timber connectors

Restraint straps

Building regulations require lateral restraint in many situations; your design shows where.

Match the joist size

Hangers are sized to the joist width and depth. Order to your timber schedule.

In England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.

How delivery works in Swanley

Boxed or bundled with your timber. Swanley is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Quantities: a worked example

A floor 3 m wide with joists at 400 mm centres has 9 joists; hung off a wall at one end that is 9 joist hangers, plus restraint straps at the spacing your design shows.
